What is an AEROTOWER and how does it work?
The AEROTOWER is a vertical aeroponic gardening system designed to grow plants without soil. It uses a closed-loop system where nutrient-enriched water is delivered to plant roots via a pump and timer setup. The water is sprayed onto the roots, allowing them to absorb essential nutrients and oxygen. The system’s design maximizes space efficiency and plant yield, making it ideal for both small and large-scale gardening.
What types of plants can I grow with the AEROTOWER?
The AEROTOWER supports a wide variety of plants, including leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables. You can successfully grow crops like lettuce, basil, cucumbers, tomatoes, and even root crops such as beets and onions. For vine plants like beans and cucumbers, you can integrate the AEROTOWER Duet model with a trellis system. However, certain root vegetables like potatoes and carrots are not suitable for this system.
How often do I need to maintain the AEROTOWER?
Maintenance for the AEROTOWER is minimal. Typically, you only need to spend about 10 minutes a week to check water levels, ensure the pump is functioning correctly, and test the pH and nutrient levels of the water. Regular monitoring ensures your plants receive optimal growing conditions and helps prevent any potential issues.
How much water does the AEROTOWER use compared to traditional gardening?
The AEROTOWER is highly efficient and saves up to 95% of water compared to traditional soil gardening. The closed-loop system recycles water, minimizing waste and ensuring that plants receive consistent moisture without excessive runoff. This efficiency not only conserves water but also reduces the frequency of refilling the reservoir.
Can I use the AEROTOWER indoors and outdoors?
Yes, the AEROTOWER can be used both indoors and outdoors. For indoor use, you may need to supplement with LED grow lights to provide the necessary light for plant growth. Outdoor setups benefit from natural sunlight, making them ideal for urban gardens, balconies, or small yards. The system’s versatility allows you to grow fresh produce year-round, regardless of your location.
What should I do if my plants are not growing as expected?
If your plants aren’t growing as expected, first check the water levels, pH, and nutrient concentrations to ensure they are within the recommended ranges. Inspect the pump and timer to confirm they are operating correctly. Also, consider environmental factors such as light and temperature. If issues persist, refer to our troubleshooting guide or contact customer support for further assistance.
